she had a line about the united states being the greatest country in the world, which sometimes liberals don't say. she talked about military families. i thought, you know, if you take the measures by which we look at speeches, the technical proficiency, how well it's written, how well it's delivered, the dog whistles to different groups, you couldn't see a better speech in terms of how it was written or how she performed. now, we have to always remember the point of this is to influence voters out in the country. my guess is if there's a convention bounce, it will be due in no small part to the speech she gave along with the big ones we're expecting. >> let me speak briefly. we want to talk about julian castro, whether or not he delivered as a rising star and the outreach to not only texas but to the hispanic community, but also this change of venue tomorrow night and how that will affect their basic reason for doing that was not just the television audience. they were planning to do a registration drive, they were planning to do a get out the vote drive. they were going to have 65,000
